The Turks Head

Martin Walls

A very nice gastro pub situated in the beautiful town of Woodbridge. Stunning walks and rustic aesthetic, this small town is well worth a visit. The Turks Head was a great place to stop for dinner with beautiful surroundings and clean, modern interior. It was a homely environment with a relaxing atmosphere. Service was slow to start but acceptable towards the end, with a great addition of the service team singing happy birthday to us as the desert came with a candle and a free glass of sparkling wine for the birthday boy. A beautiful touch that made our evening all the more special. The menu was superb. Small yet diverse, utilising locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. The starter, chicken strips, had to be the best chicken dish I can recall having. The perfectly seasoned panné was phenomenal with so much flavour, and crispiness. The chicken was moist and delicious and the most delightful coleslaw you’ve ever tasted. The main, a burger, was a flavour masterpiece of amazingly seasoned, perfectly cooked steak haché. Bacon, onion jam and cheese complimented each other exquisitely alongside the amazing pickled slaw. Desert, even with the added birthday treat, was a master peace of culinary skills. A perfect, Tonka bean brûlée and delicious plumb crumble finished the meal with great finesse. This pub was unfortunately let down by it’s very poor wine list. This for me, however, wasn’t a problem as I was drinking beer. One of the best gastro pub meals I’ve had in a very long time. Chef Rob really knows his food and can deliver superb quality. I highly recommend you to try his food; you will not be disappointed.

Thoroughly enjoyed a light lunch here. Had a selection of starters shared between the two of us. All four of them are individual and delicious the king prawns really stood out. Sticky beef tender enough for a 2 month old... Service was attentive engaging and enjoyable.

Nice enough pub. Has an outdoor area. Ordered the special pie, chicken and chorizo. Good flavour. Home made chips and roasted carrots were also good.
